GamesRadar: "The Sega Game Gear. With its 8-bit processor and bright color screen, it was basically the Sega Master system in your hands. How many batteries did we suck dry playing Sonic, Madden and Road Rash on the bus or in the car, or in the dark when we were supposed to be sleeping? You couldn’t do that on a Game Boy!
We’ve assembled a list and checked it twice, ordering all our favorite games for Sega’s beefy handheld. Take a look, and tell us your favorite games in the comments below. Remember, if you’re feeling nostalgic, many of these classics are available on the 3DS Virtual Console. "
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
Wow, what a system. Such memories! I remember Terminator2 Arcade for it! One of my personal favorites. Sonic Drift 2 was another one. This makes me wanna pick up the game gear again! I never shouldve got rid of mine.
